Daily Success April 12 – Failed. I knew the grade last evening but couldn’t bring myself to do anything to improve it. Just tired, so very tired after the events of the last week.

Yesterday

Yesterday was not really bad, just overwhelming. Part of that was the shoulder pain. Rain came in overnight and that set my right shoulder into a major pain cycle that kept waking me up so that a poor night’s sleep was added to the exhaustion of the Ohio trip. The pain continued off and on throughout the day. Some of my physical therapy exercises were very difficult because of the pain.

Being tired was a real factor in my fiddling hours away looking for something undefined on the UMGC website, checking news, and taking a nap.

It appears that UMGC does not have any courses I’m really interested in during the summer session. I could take a Systems Engineering course, but even if I got a Masters, it would not really be of value, and it would be less interesting than Poli-Sci, History, or Spanish at this point.

I did manage to join the Confraternity of Saint James yesterday. No real significance to that beyond some kind of closure for the wonderful night I spent at what I will now call “our” Albergue San Martín. The volunteers that evening were wonderful, indeed.

Today

Last night was not any better than the night before. My sleep was fitful at best and I’m tired today to go with the fatigue.

Today has physical therapy at Dr. Higgins’ office in the afternoon, which will take more than two hours when the drive is included, and Cliff’s thing at the Brewhouse this morning.

My goal for the day is to get more done than yesterday, but I’m all at sea with my Poli-Sci course ended and everything else confused or up in the air. We shall see.

The Future

The future requires decisions and action. Despite having moved the needle ever so slightly yesterday, today is another day of low energy and lower will power. I will work to do my best. “Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
